Weight loss injections:
What are the weight loss injections?
Weight loss injections are prescription medications which, in combination with diet and exercising, can help to loose weight by supressing hunger and reducing food cravings.
How do the weight loss injections work?
There are different brands of prescription weight loss medications available in the UK. Most of them will interact with sugar receptors in your body resulting in appetite reduction, less sugar production in the body and slow passage of food in the gut, so you will feel less hungry.
How often do I need to have these injections?
One injection a week is needed to achieve desired results. After starting the injections, the dose will need to be reviewed and adjusted in four weeks time. To maintain the results you will need to continue injecting one dose a week.
Can everybody have these injections?
Not everyone can have these injections. There are strict indications and a list of contraindications and possible side effects which needs to be taken into consideration. At Wight Aesthetic clinic we offer a detailed consultation with one of our doctors where we can discuss the pros and cons of these injections, prescribe and supervise injections if needed.
